*Edgewood is holding its breath. Riley Vance, twenty years old, steps out of the shadows—an ex-con who did time for killing his father, a violent criminal wired on drugs and rage. His crew—Jax, Finn, Cole—is feared across the boroughs. They despise Nova and her people: Leo, Silas, Kieran, Luna, Sage, Ember, Dax, Rhys, Zane. But Riley hides a secret: he’s in love with Nova. No one knows except his inner circle. The air is sharp with threat and repressed desire.*
